E.M Camp recount. Bridge valley camp.

 Beyond this point is my Camp recount.

Hi, my name is Eden and today I'm going to write/tell you about my awesome and fun experience at Camp! So on Tuseday a couple of weeks ago I went camping. When I got to camp I straight away looked around in excitement and (as straight as the parents and teachers let me go to my cabin. I sprinted to see what my cabin looked like.) The people who were in my cabin were Emily, Tahlia, Clara, Katelyn, Meka, and I. After a little bit of free time, we all went into our teams and started our first activity. I was in Team 3 and the people in my team were Miro H, Aaron, Grace, Keil, Quaid, Emma, Zekaiah, Luke, Carter, and I. The adults that looked after we were Anthea, and Kriston. My first activity was Team initiatives. Team initiatives are when you and your team must work together to move across obstacles. After my first activity, I moved onto my next activity. My next activity was Orienteering. Orienteering is when you and your team get split into small flags and write down the symbols on the flags.  Free time came and we all just ran around and played with our friend. After free time we had Top teams!  Top teams are when you and your team had to all work together against other teams and try and win against all the other teams. So the last team that won most of their obstacles will be the best team of the whole camp. There were five obstacles in the whole Top team's and they were all different and unique. My personal favorite one was probably the adventure playground one. The adventure playground obstacle was when we all versed other teams and we had to race against each other to get to the end of the obstacle. After all the obstacles my team won! So that means my team is the best! Then some people wanted to go on the black slide. The blackslide looked scary when you got to the bottom so I didn't go on it the whole time I was on camp. Then we had more free time. Then dinner finally came. For dinner, we had Spaghetti and meatballs, spring rolls, rice, coleslaw, and salad. It was soo yummy! Then after dinner, we all played spotlight. Me, Emma, Meka, and Katelyn hid in a very good spot. It was ready for bedtime, so we all got ready for bed. I was absolutely shattered because it was such a long day and I had to wake up at 5.50 am and it was such a long day and I felt like I was going to collapse. Then it was finally time to go to sleep. ( Day 2, Wednesday.) Morning came and I and my friends all woke up. Then we went into the dining room and had breakfast. For breakfast, we had fruits, cereal, toast, and more. I was soo yum! Then I and my team moved onto our first activity of the day! Our first activity was Team Rescue. Team rescue is when you and your team get planks and you have to try and get steady Eddy to the hospital witch is at the end of the obstacle. ( Steady Eddy is a dummy and his head always hangs down on the side of the stretcher.) So I and my team made it to the end and we moved onto our second activity of the day. Our next activity was the Burma trail. The Burma trail is when you and your team are blindfolded and you have to hold onto ropes and try and get to the end. I fell over about 2 times and I was one of the last people in my team to finish it. Then we had lunch for lunch we had yummy wedges and burgers! Then I and my team moved onto our third activity of the day. Our third activity was Lazertag. So we all got split into the blue team and the red team. ( I forgot the names of the teams.) I was on the blue team. So the rules of Lazertag are when there was a box and you had to shoot the box to make the box the color of your team and if you have to go back to your box at your base and go super close to the box then you will come back to life. If you have to reload you can push the red button under your gun or you can walk back to your base and go near the box witch beings you back to life and then the box will say reloaded. My team, the blue team lost twice. Then my last activity was low ropes. Low ropes are when you have to try and go on low ropes and try not to fall. Oh and I almost forgot after a couple of the activities I did me and everyone else got to have morning tea we could have one piece of baking and as much fruit as we want. The fruits there were pineapples and watermelon.  So back to Lazertag. So after Lazertag, we got free time. Then after free time mostly everyone went on the slides. We could go on the enormous blue slide. We could also go and swim in the lake and we could go in the cool pool. I went on all of these and here was the order of all of them. Blue waterslide, Then the lake, then finally the pool. I remember after I went by myself on the blue slide you could go with a friend. Then I went with Katelyn on the blue slide it was soo cool. Then after water time wen all got dressed but I also got dressed in my PJs! ( Because they are soo cozy.) Then after I and my friends got dressed we had donuts. They were very yummy. Then I and my team had to set up dinner because all the teams take turns setting up dinner and we also had to set up lunch after we did the Burma trail. Then we ate dinner. For dinner, we had butter chicken and it was soo warm and yum! Then we had more free time and then everyone went on the Burma trail. It was dark and super creepy. Then some of us went alone but some people went with someone. I went with Katelyn because I was kinda scared to go by myself. After everyone went once some people went a second time but this time the parents were allowed to scare you. I went back with a couple of friends. But some Katelyn went the second time all alone this time. and she said she wasn't scared but I know if I went all alone I would be terrified. Then after everyone finished the Burma trail everyone had hot chocolates and we also had some baking and some fruits. The after hot chocolates and the other food we all got ready for bed. Then we went to sleep. Then the parents and Miss Farr scared us even though most of us were asleep. Then morning came and we and I and my roommates got ready for the day. Then we all had breakfast we had the same for breakfast from yesterday. Toast, fruit, and cereal.Then after breakfast, we got  free time. Then we started our first activity of the day. Our first activity was Archery. Archery was such fun! Archery is when you have to shoot an arrow and try and get a bullseye. I got a bullseye, well I kinda did. So my arrow hit the target bullseye and then it straight away fell off. Then after Archery, we had morning tea. For morning tea we had more baking and fruit. Then we all moved onto our second activity of the day. Our second activity was Fire and Damper. Fire and Damper are when you have to find some sticks to make a fire and then you get a long stick so that you can put the damper on the stick then you put the stick over the fire. Then when you are finished cooking it you put butter and cinnamon on it and you put the butter on before the cinnamon so that the cinnamon can stick to the Damper. I ate my damper and it tasted like donuts and it was so yum! Then we had lunch I don't really remember what we had for lunch but all I can say is that it was yum. Then I moved onto my third activity of the day. My third activity of the day was Abseiling. Abseiling is when you where this harness thing for your legs then you attach the ropes to it and you go onto this very large wall and you jump off of it and you jump up and down and it is kinda scared but also kinda fun at the same time! So when you get to the abseiling you put on the harness things for your legs and your practice going down a small slope so you can get the hang of it. Then after I and my friend Emma finished practicing we went up the cave and went through heaps of small gaps. ( The cave is inside the longwall thing you jump off. ) So you see me and Emma are super tall kids so it was kinda hard for us to get through the small spaces. Then when we did get to the top I and Emma had to wait for the people who are up at the very top to abseil because only 2 people and the man who was helping us were allowed on there. Then I and Emma were aloud to go up and Emma went down before me. Then I went down and I honestly didn't think that I would go down but I did! The man attached me to the rope and I started to go down. I was very scared and I thought I was gonna die but I didn't. When I got to the bottom I was very proud of myself and so was Miss Farr! Then we moved onto our last activity of the day. My last activity of the day was Kayaking. Kayaking is when you and your team get to go in some kayaks  and you get the paddles. Then you get into the kayak and you use the paddle and once you start doing it you will definitely get used to it. Then my boat was filling up with water and everyone was asking me why and I didn't know why. Then they took a look at my Kayak and turns out my kayak had a hole in it! Then they put the kayak back and they got me a new banana looking one. I loved kayaking and that was my first time ever doing it. Then after I kayaked I went inside my cabin and had a long warm hot shower. The shower was super nice. Then I got into my cozy clothes. Then I and my friends had free time and after a little bit people could go on the black slide. I just watched it because I like watching people go down the black slide especially my friends. I watched Katelyn go down about 11 times. Then after some  people  went down the slide everyone got dressed and we all had dinner. Dinner was  Nachos and Nachos were so yum! Then after dinner we had dessert. Then we got ready for the concert! The concert is when you and your group pull something to do out of a hat and you and your team have to do something related to the topic you pulled out of the hat. My group, team 3 had to do comedy. Me and my team decided to do cheesy pick up lines. We all practiced our pick up lines and we kept practicing until it was time for the concert. My pick up line was this: Hey can I have your Instagram? Cause my parents said I should follow my dreams. ( I enjoyed my pick up line :) Then it was finally ready to do the concert. My team did there's 3rd. The team's presentation that I enjoyed most was probably team 4. They did little red riding hood. I liked theirs because it was funny and eyecatching. I'm pretty sure that all the teams won the concert. Then after the concert we all had some free time. then we had to get ready for bed. Then we all fell asleep. Then Friday came, the last day of camp. Then me and my roommates got up and went and had breakfast. Breakfast was the usual. Then after breakfast everyone had to clean up their cabins and make sure that they are nice and tidy. But before breakfast me and my roommates cleaned up our clothes and put them in our bags and we put then in the trailer thingy. So back to cleaning up our cabins. So after we cleaned up our cabins the parents had to make sure it was done nicely. Then after they checked all the cabins we all played a new game called get fresh. So get fresh is when you get split into teams. and you start near the Orange and Yellow cones. That is when we all  are safe and each team has an orange and yellow cone. My team was my team, team 3 and team 1 and we were versing team 4 and team 2. If you are on the line and you get off the line and you tag someone that hopped of their line before you then you can tag them and take them back and take them back to your line that you started on and go on a corner and that is the Jail. The only way to get out of the Jail is if someone comes from your team and tags you, but they can only take one person at a time. But if something goes wrong and someone fresher than you from a different team comes and tags you before you get to try and save someone from Jail then you go to jail. My whole team won the first round  and the other team won the second. Then after get fresh we had morning tea For morning tea we had the usual. After morning tea it was time to leave. So we all hopped into the cars we were in and we set off to try and get back to school. We stopped halfway in Murchison and played on a playground there and had lunch. My car had a flat tire and we were almost to school! It took a long time to come back to school. Then we finally got back to school and I saw my Dad and ran up to him and hugged him. So this is how I described my first camp, fun, amazing, cool, and a great experience. Made by Eden.
